VMA= View My Ass Awards

There is no doubt that there is an obvious recipe for success in today’s society and sadly at the top of the list comes sex.

Due to this formulaic trend the role models that children look up to are leading them astray.

Both male and female stars are helping to desensitize children and teens to violence as well as teaching them that a large part of your worth as a human is based on your physical appearance.

A Great example which demonstrates stars actions on the screen having a negative effect on its viewers would be the VMA’s.

Music being an internationally popular outlet bringing people together and creating a common belief system is a very powerful way to get an idea out to community.

The VMA’s being one of many examples as to how this power is used for evil instead of good.

With an obvious recipe for success being Sex, Violence, and …Sex the video’s that have been selected as art lack a lot of things such as clothing.

No doubting that our lady vocalist’s have pipes, however it has come to my attention a female artist has won a VMA award for video of the year the past five years straight.

Here to demonstrate the exact difference in male and female music videos is Jay- Z. 
   Men 
            Step 1:  learn the words

  Women

 Britney spears... enough said

2009

At least Beyonce is straight to the point in her video single ladies not only with the lyric's but also dance moves and outfit choice. Might as well change the lyrics to if you like it then you’re going to have to pay for it, Go capitalism!

     Major props go out to Lady Gaga for her Music video bad romance, for she not only teaches us that if the 1 percent of clothing were wearing make us look like were a freak then its art but also abusive relationships are just a bonus.

      Props to Katy for one of her few video's where she’s not half naked. Although I must say had she shown a little more skin I think the randomly placed sick child may have been healed? As for the shy girl at the party way to take Katy's burst of inspiration from the fireworks shooting out of her chest and strip down naked at a party that's always a sure way to acceptance.....
This is just one of the many places where woman have been portrayed as sex symbols and the worst part is that the women allow themselves to follow this road to success instead of trying to be innovative and make a change.

Suffering these trends are the youth especially the current generations due to the fact that with the economy the way it is kids are learning most of their information through technology with their parents being absent due to their work schedules.

It is not my mission however to send the message in hopes to end the view of media but instead to ask its viewers to be more interactive with what they are viewing and analyze its true meaning.
